Another good priced trainer that has excellent flying characteristics and quality construction. Browse this whole site for amazing scratch and dent deals too. Unlike Tower, all the parts are there. Only complaint with the Sky Raider is the covering is difficult to match and patch. I had to resort to packing tape to cover hangar rash, etc.

Sorry to get off track from this thread, I just read a few comments on bad covering experiences and without question Great Planes/Hobbico/Tower are plagued with the problem.

When you overlap the monokote (UltraCoat is stronger) it's a good idea to use a little trim solvent on the overlap. It's also a great prep to the balsa surfaces if you need to recover an area that blew off in the sky, and castor/fuel has contaminated the wood slightly. After you treat it with this stuff, Monokote will stick good.
